White screen of death ipod touch 4g 32gb [dropped]

I got my ipod touch 4g 32gb for Christmas 2012, so it's still quite new, i accidently dropped it on the kitchen floor, screen face down [facebook app was currently running at the time] it had a silocon case on it so it wasn't as bad, when i pick up my ipod to check it was alright, the screen was all white [white screen of death].
I've tried 'home+lock screen buttons' & i have also tried 'Home+lock screen+ volume up buttons' this didn't work.
my friend suggested that i leave it to drain out and after 24 hours it died out, after about 20-30 mins i put it back on charge and the white screen came back up, i took it off and i'm leaving it for the night and will try it again tomorrow, does any one have any suggestions on other ways i could fix it, please help, thanks.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Could be a loose connection or something worse.

    How do i get rid of the white screen on my ipod touch?

    Try a hard reset. If that does not work, let the battery completely drain, recharge and test.

  • How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch?

    How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch. I have tried to hard reset the ipod, however every time I press the top button to lock the screen, it goes to a white screen.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

    how do you fix a white screen on a ipod touch

    okay, so my ipod screen is white.

         and coming on here to find any way to fix this.

  • White screen on my ipod touch, what can I do?  Tried the reset and restore and niether one worked.

    Over the weekend my ipod Touch, generation 3, turned to a white screen.  I didn't drop it or anything, just turned it on and it was white.  I tried to turn it off and on with no luck, several times, it still just comes up as a white screen.  I also tried a restore from my computer and again no luck.  Did the screen die on me or is there something else I can do?  It is over two years old and I am the only owner.  It is up to date with software and has always performed flawlessly.  Any suggestions?

    Sounds like a logic board issue. Check with some third-party repair depots. Some have flat-rate repair costs.

  • I have a White-Screen on my iPod Touch 2G

    Hello User,
    i hope you can help me .
    After I had played a game on my iPod Touch 2G, my iPod suddenly went to a white screen.
    I have made these things to solve the problem:
    -I have reseted the iPod
    -I have put it in the Recovery-Mode
    -I have restored it
    -I have used the newest Firmware for my iPod Touch and the newest version of iTunes 10
    I hope you can help me and sorry for my bad englisch (I am from Germany)

    Sounds like a hardware failure.  If it's still in warranty, try contacting Apple for repair.  If it's not, you can look up some third party companies for repair.  Also Apple will repair out of warranty for a fee.

  • WHITE SCREEN of DEATH (ipod shows only white screen on VIDEO IPOD)

    i was dumb enough to unplug my ipod when it was updating.
    the result was a white screen that never went off and came back after resetting.
    im dedicated to helping others fix this problem with out sending their ipod to apple.
    THE SOLUTION:
    reset your ipod by holding select and menu, THEN when you hear the wierd beeping sound hold down the select button and play button FOR ONE MINUTE OR MORE....... FIXED!!!!
    it should display a check mark and say OK TO DISCONNECT!!
    then just plug it into the computer and copy ur library back onto the ipod.

  • How do I remove blank white screen from my ipod touch?

    help! my iPod is stuck on a white screen and holding any button down is not helping. I'm thinking of leaving it overnight and waiting if it is fixed in the morning. Is this a good idea or is there a better method/solution for troubleshooting iPod Touch.
